From The Tower

Last weekend I went for lunch at the Calgary Tower. It is a rather large tourist attraction with a revolving restaurant and look out deck (think the Space Needle). While I was up there I took this quick snap shot of the neighbouring buildings. If you look at the settings you can tell this shot …

Peace Bridge People

I drive by this bridge pedestrian bridge all the time. Yesterday I decided to make a quick stop on my way home and grab a couple shots. You can’t park on the bridge side, so I parked on the other side and used a 70-200mm lens. It is still rather cold in Calgary, so I …

Dog Sign

Here’s a random sign regarding dogs by the City of Calgary haha. Rather random, but I like the bokeh :). Camera: Pentax K5 & 50mm SMC Pentax-F 50mm 1.7 ~ Settings: 1/13th – f/1.7 – ISO 800 Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Nice & Frozen Calgary

I went out last night around 6:30pm to take this picture. Little did I know just how cold it was. Once I set up my tripod, I whipped out my phone to check the temperature because I was already freezing. It was a bone chilling – 8 F! (-22C). I was only able to get …

A Wave of Clouds

I thought the clouds looked pretty cool coming over the Rocky Mountains at this moment so I grabbed a picture. The clouds almost look like a wave crashing over the mountains. Pretty cool stuff to see :). Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 70-300mm DO IS @300mm ~ Settings: 1/400th – f/20 – ISO 1000 …

Urban HDR

I went out to shoot some photos with a buddy of mine on Saturday and we met at a popular Calgary park/lookout. The plan was to meet at this look out and then go to this old closed down factory to shoot some photos and we did just that. I’d say I got one half …

Olympic Flame

When Canada wins a gold medal in the Olympics, Calgary lights up its Olympic flame for a short period (an hour or so I believe). The day before I shot these I saw the flame on from my bedroom window and thought I’d go out and shoot some photos that night. However after making plans …

Run For It!

As you may know from my last post I was out on a little country drive on Friday. While I was driving I noticed a group of Elk & Deers on the side of the road up a hill, however they were to far to get a good picture, since the longest focal length lens …

My Random Car

This is just a random snapshot I took of my car one evening when I was out for a skyline shot. It is a rather noisy picture, so I figured it would be salvageable in black and white :). Camera: Canon 5D mark iii & 16-35L @35 ~ Settings: 1/40th – f/5.6 ISO 4000 Thanks …

Chilly Skyline

I took this yesterday around 5pm and all though it looks rather nice out, I can assure you it was very cold! I was only out of my car for about 5 minutes before my hands started shaking! haha. I figured that was my cue to head back to my car :). Camera: Canon 5D …

Under A Bridge

With a scene like this I think most people would think to shoot this photo wide and I understand why, but I thought shooting it with a longer focal length might look good too. I’m happy with how the picture turned out, maybe next time I’ll see what I get with a wide-angle. Camera: Canon …

The Look

I was downtown not to long ago and I saw this guy shooting some video of a sign. I walked over and took a picture of him, then he noticed I was beside him pointing a camera at him and when he looked at me he had this hilarious look on his face! LOL. It …

It’s All About The Bokeh!

Sometimes a picture is just all about the bokeh! Right after I took this picture a young security guard girl came over and told me I wasn’t allowed to take pictures in the building unless I had written consent from the buildings management. I told her it wasn’t a problem and asked her if I …
